The older I get, the more disciplined I become at commenting. I cannot tell
you how many times I have cursed my younger self for not doing more of that
when he wrote the original code!
My younger self was a pretty good programmer but alas he was lazy and
stupid. :)

I try to comment appropriately, but sometimes, I miss putting
down what ends up being a critically missing detail years later. If
my code were less reliable, then maybe, I would have looked at it
sooner and would be more familiar with it for when I finally have to change
it.
The "Set it and forget it." mentality does have the problem of
"forget it".
